The battle raged on into the night. The defenders pouring all of their arrows into the enemy lines, while Herobrine led a series of charges against the wall, digging at them with his diamond pickaxes. Every so often Spider Jockeys would climb up the wall and attack the villagers.
Thirteen had already been sent to the hospital because of their wounds, while two villagers had died because of poisonous cave spiders.
Gameknight fought at the head of the warriors each time that the spiders breached the wall, and in the rare case that a Vex appeared, he decimated it. Apparently, Herobrine had wasted his Vex supplies on the surprise attack on the village earlier that day.
As soon as the night began, the monsters were more active. Spiders attacked with more vigor, skeletons shoot more accurately, and killed seven people on the wall. Endermen appeared, and they built staircases of blocks up the sides of the walls. Gameknight stood at the top of one of these staircases, slashing at any monster who dared get in his path.
He was hungry, exhausted, and battered by relentless amounts of arrows that bounced off his helmet, armor, and sword, but still feeling like dodgeballs at superspeed.
After destroying the last skeleton on the bridge, Gameknight rested for a second. Then he saw the Bob general point his sword at Gameknight. At least thirty Bob's rushed at the foot of the staircase, all with enchanted diamond armour and swords. Gameknight pulled out his two swords and yelled, "YOU… SHALL NOT… PASS!"
Rainimator jumped into battle beside him, swinging like a maniac. From behind, Abigail shot arrow after arrow into the advancing mobs, weakening them for Rainimator and Gameknight to easily destroy. Fox jumped up and, with his new diamond sword, aimed for the heads of the armoured monsters, saving their armour for soldiers.
After about ten hours, the attack slackened off. The dawn was coming, and Herobrine's troops had taken a beating. They retreated into the cover of the forest, hiding in the shade. Resting.
Right after they left, Gameknight slumped forward, and fell to the ground. Rainimator ran to him. "Gameknight, you alright?" he asked, concerned.
"Yeah," Gameknight responded, "just tired and sore from so many arrow hits."
"Same," said Rain, "You want me to walk you to you and Fox's new room. You'll be bunkin' together."
"Sure," said Gameknight, "I'm just so tired."
"Abigail," said Rain, "can you spare some time? Him and his armour's heavy."
"Okay," Abigail responded, "I'm not tired. My arms hurt from pulling my bow back all night tho."
They half carried, half dragged, Gameknight back to his little house next to Rain's. On the other side, Abigail's little cottage was nestled into some small hills that partly covered her house.
Inside the door, Was a little sitting room with wooden stairs as chairs, a table made of wooden planks, and a jukebox with a chest full of CD's next to it. Then they passed through the kitchen. It had a furnace and a crafting table. The Kitchen also had a door that a sign above it labled: ENCHANTING AND POTION-MAKING.
After going through another door they found the bedroom. It was a eight-by-eight square, with a mirror image of a bed, a chest, and a crafting table on each side. Rain layed Gameknight down on his bed and was about to say something when he noticed that Abigail had her hand in front of her mouth. She whispered, "Quiet. He's asleep!"
Rain saw him toss and turn in his sleep. He put his hand on Gameknight's head. Abigail saw shock and horror flit across his eyes. "Gameknight is sick," he said, "extremely sick. And with the town under seige, I don't know if we can get him a remedy in time!"
